In this seminar we will develop a more nuanced understanding of healthcare - the stakeholders, business dynamics, and infrastructure.  We’ll also explore how the healthcare consumer interacts with the system and superimpose current health challenges to identify opportunities and an approach to strategy development. 
This seminar is intended for aspiring healthcare entrepreneurs as well as those with industry experience who seek a deeper understanding.

Dr. Anthony Dowidowicz is the regional medical director (Southeast Region), Optum. In addition to his medical degree, Anthony received his MBA from the MIT Sloan School of Management where he spent additional time pursing advanced research in system dynamics.   He is the founder of the MIT Sloan Physicians Group and serves on the Health System Initiative Board.
